Not able to run bower.json file - from NPM command

Question

I am working behind a corporate office. I got the download rights and I can able to download the yeoman package even bower package using the NPM command. I got the permission for download from registry.npmjs and git.

Now I am trying to run a bower.json but i am not able to download anything. i keep getting timeouts. Is i require special permission for to run the bower.json ? or I can make any config to run the bower.json?

attached screen shot for my error reference.

still here is the error I am getting:

UPDATE

As like the sugession from Ben Diamant : I added a new .bowerrc file, where my bower.json nested, But I am getting this error: what is wrong here?

What is wrong here, any one highlight me please?

Looks like your firewall is blocking, you need to run bower behind the corp proxy:

Edit .bowerrc with proxy configuration -

{
    "proxy":"http://<host>:<port>",
    "https-proxy":"http://<host>:<port>"
}
